I definitely would not put a foundation under a house that's only got 6 under it--that will make any further remodeling nearly impossible, such as replumbing, rewiring, insulating, etc. Better to get it at least 24 off grade. Well, our problem is that the house is apparently not well supported with its current setup.
A Baker's cyst is swelling caused by fluid from the knee joint protruding to the back of the knee. Baker's cysts are common and can be caused by virtually any cause of joint swelling . A Baker's cyst may not cause symptoms or be associated with knee pain and/or tightness behind the knee, especially when the knee is extended or fully flexed. Baker's cysts can rupture and become complicated by spread of fluid down the leg between the muscles of the calf (dissection).
Sometimes if the pressure is too high, the cyst can burst, causing the joint fluid to escape into the calf muscle causing severe pain and inflammation. A knee examination shows a bulge or swelling and occasionally tenderness behind the knee. Most Bakerâs cysts do not require treatment. If the cyst is painfully large, treatment is directed at reducing the amount of fluid the knee produces, often by using cortisone injections into the knee joint.
